6/1/2023 0 Comments Change git default text editorI turned to open instead: git config -global core.editor "open -W -n" The amended commit does complete on quit: % git commit -amend Testing TextEdit!ġ file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) The commit completes and works when I quit TextEdit but I don’t like to quit the app each time I update a commit, especially if I have other files open. Hint: Waiting for your editor to close the file. There’s one problem though, which is that git doesn’t pick up on the fact that a file has been edited and closed when the application remains active: % git commit -amend I picked this rather than some of the other approaches because it’s straightforward in launching the app. It’s been fine but not everyone loves emacs or likes the debris it leaves in its wake. So I thought I’d try out TextEdit instead.Īfter a little testing of approaches, I first tried out this: git config -global core.editor /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit For a little while, I’ve been using emacs as my git editor because I strongly feel that vi is something that should happen to other people.
